Sushi Izakaya Gaku - Japanese restaurant in Honolulu - 1329 S King St, USA

Hands down best sushi in Hawaii. Gaku was recommended to us by our scuba diving instructor who is a Japanese sushi chef before moving to Hawaii. Every piece of sushi is prepared so delicately and skillfully. Each cut of the fish is so precise and fine. Also must mention that the spicy tartar is extremely creamy flavorful and yet refreshing. Just overall an amazing experience. Definitely best sushi in Hawaii

I wanted to reach out and share my experience at Sushi Izakaya, a hidden gem located on King Street. While parking may be a bit difficult in the area, I assure you that the food at this establishment is absolutely amazing. During my visit, I had the opportunity to try several dishes that I highly recommend. Firstly, the Hamachi kama, a grilled yellowtail collar, was a true highlight. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the fish was cooked to perfection. Additionally, the spicy Tuna rolls were exceptionally delicious, with just the right amount of kick to tantalize the taste buds. Lastly, the grilled fish option on the menu was delectable and left me craving for more. After such a delightful dining experience, I have no doubt that I will be returning to Sushi Izakaya again in the future. The quality of the sushi and the overall level of deliciousness exceeded my expectations. It's highly recommended to reserve ahead of time.

Great sushi spot! Very good fish, and the small dishes are nice. The dishes do come out randomly however, we got the daikon pickles like halfway through instead of first

We have been wanting to come here for a long time. The food is delicious, and the sushimi melts in your mouth. We sat at the sushi bar and really enjoyed interacting with the chefs. The server was friendly and had great suggestions for drinks and food. We loved the experience and look forward to our next visit.

AMAZING! great atmosphere and service but even better food. Had the spicy tuna roll, pork/ shrimp dumpling, fried pumpkin, and veggies

They serve the food very fast. Order the dishes separately and not all at once. I recommend the 9 pc sashimi & o toro nigiri!

This was the best omasake we’ve ever had. The fish was so fresh and straight out of Japan. My husband doesn’t like sushi or sashimi but he enjoyed this experience very much. He said everything tasted amazing and he ate everything. That’s huge for him. Thank you so much to our chef too. He was so wonderful and catered to our likings. We came with our friends and were able to sit together by the bar. The reservation was made a couple weeks prior for the dinner. Highly recommend this. There is a small parking lot in the back that can fit about 6-8 cars. Or plenty of street parking too.

The fish here was the best fresh fish I’ve probably Ever had! The environment is super friendly and chill. Everyone here greets you and says bye to you. The chefs are all great. The sashimi we had was great! We had to come here twice because we enjoyed it so much.
